Guest Reviews

• Brian (10/5): A most enjoyable experience. - Delightfully location near to the centre of Sherborne with parking facilities. The breakfasts were freshly prepared to order and were delicious. The room was spotless, extremely comfortable and well equiped. Our host was very welcoming and helpful. For us nothing could have been better and we would definitely return if we could. There was nothing we did not like. We had no complaints.
• YINGCHUN (8/5): Home-like accommodation - Very comfortable room, delicious breakfast, friendly hostess, feel at home! If the garden could be open, how nice a sunny afternoon tea and garden breakfast
• Janice (10/5): - Susie is the "hostess with the mostest" this was the best place we stayed in our 6-week trip to Europe. The room was gorgeous, comfy and large and beautifully decorated. The claw foot bath was just what your tired legs needed after a day out exploring fabulous to soak in. The home cooked breakfast was next level, and Susie was easy to talk to and welcoming and had lots of local knowledge about where to go and what to see in Sherborne. We had a great stay and will be back again, loved it. Janice and Graydon
• Evelyn Diana (9/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): Quaint, lovely, would love to go back! - So quaint and cute. The room we were in was large and set up to look so lovely. The rest of the cottage was very quaint too. Breakfast was delicious and Susie was wonderful. We enjoyed talking to her and she was very accommodating. Nothing really. My husband would’ve preferred a shower, but I enjoyed the bath.
• Jeff S (10/5): A comfortable stay and a fine host. - Excellent breakfast made exactly as you would like it, good quality. The location of Clare Cottage is very good, a short walk to the centre of Sherborne.

• Antonina (10/5): Незабываемо красиво и гостеприимно. - Susie очаровательная, гостеприимная хозяйка. Такое счастье пожить в её английском доме. Там все сделано с душой и со вкусом. Мебель, картины, статуи, фарфор, ткани, сад с цветами - очень красиво. А какие вкусные завтраки она готовит! Комната светлая, с большим окном выходящее в цветущий сад. Расположение дома очень хорошее. Рядом кафе, рестораны, парк, Шерборновское аббатство, вокзал. Susie, огромное спасибо!
• CORNELIUS (10/5): We would certainly return here at any time of year. - The host Susie was most welcoming and we felt at home during our stay.

• Alison (10/5): Fabulous - Clare Cottage is in a quiet location but situated very close to the Abbey, pubs, restaurants, shops and a short pleasant walk to the lovely castle. Susie is a very welcoming host ,very helpful and provided lots of useful information. We stayed in the garden room which was cool and airy even in this hot spell. We had the best breakfast that we have ever had in a b& b or hotel, made of the local produce and so tasty. If we could have stayed a few more nights!!
• Jeanette (8/5): Lovely stay would return. - Location was good. Breakfast lovely .Room clean and bright nice views into the garden. Host very plesent. The bathroom next door. But still private so not bad.
• Andrew (9/5): Very comfortable place to stay. - The breakfast was excellent. It was just a short walk into town for the restaurants and was in easy reach of Sherborne Castle and the Abbey. The phone number on the Booking.com website was incorrect even though the owner of Clare Cottage had asked them to change it. This made the initial contact at the property a bit difficult. Nothing to do with Clare Cottage but the Half Moon pub was awful and is best avoided.
• Andy (9/5): A very nice place to stay. -
• Christopher (9/5): Superb -
• Leslie (8/5): Very good -
• David Paul (10/5): - A beautiful cottage built in the 1600s. Run and owned by the wonderful Susie. I was made welcome from the start. I stayed for 2 nights in the back bedroom overlooking the lovely garden. Lovely breakfasts and I will definitely stay again when I visit the area again!!
